Team Analysis: Gimnasia La Plata vs Argentinos Juniors
Gimnasia La Plata, also known as "The Wolves," have had better days in Argentine football. They finished last season's Primera outside the top 20, ending in 22nd place. Their performance in the Diego Maradona Trophy was similarly underwhelming, collecting only sixteen points from fourteen matches. On the other hand, "The Beetles," as Argentinos Juniors are known, finished in the top 10 in the Primera and reached the playoffs in the Trophy, although they were knocked out by Vélez Sarsfield on penalties.
Argentinos Juniors also participated in the Copa Sudamericana but failed to progress, finishing behind Racing Montevideo in their group. They recently exited the Argentine Cup after losing to Huracán in a marathon penalty shootout. Gimnasia, however, advanced past Barracas Central and will now compete in the quarterfinals.
In the Primera, Argentinos Juniors have struggled since July, losing most of their matches or drawing goalless. Gimnasia, after a rough patch of four consecutive defeats, recovered with an away win against Racing Avellaneda and a home draw against River Plate.
